Christie, I'm just down the road from you[not literally, of course], and we happily have nothing. It did snow today, but brown grass is not covered. Enjoy it I guess. I have loved this winter, although, there is something exciting about a snow day and watching that snow come down the lake on the radar. Geeky, I know!

I have always thought a fresh snow is absolutely beautiful! And it is especially nice to be inside looking out at it! It is very windy here today with rain on the way. On the plus side it was 70 degrees. No complaints.......

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

Christy Marie...sounds like you live in the vicinity of where one of my sons live..he is in Andersonville...LOTS of snow there..he got his chance to try out his new vehicle in the snow..we also got dumped on..in Michigan,north of Grand Rapids..it was awful about 9 this morning..the snowflakes were huge..

Thanks for the concern, Cookieee. It was just thunderstorms here, but there were reports of pea-sized hail in some of the surrounding areas. The storms have moved out and tomorrow it's supposed to be sunny and in the high 50's.

Great photos, Christie Marie! I left that climate 15 years ago, and while I like looking at the pictures, I don't miss it one bit!

We had the same weather, Mary Ann. And ITA with not missing the climate! My years in Buffalo left me with a total respect for snow and ice, and a deep desire never to see it in person, again! I will say, though, that learning to drive safely in those conditions has made me a better driver all-around. Always a silver lining!

cookieee...I was just looking at the state radar and it looks like you've had some heavy rain bands today.

A cloudy day here along the northeast coast with only a few bands of light showers...not the thunderstorms that were predicted...but I expect things will pick up in a few hours as we are expecting windy conditions and rain tomorrow.

Looks like Issac is going further west, which is good for us, but unfortunately not for those in the bull's eye...stay safe to those where Issac eventually goes.

About 40 now but we have been having touches of snow at night at about 100 feet elevation. My garden somehow missed the 'killer frost' a couple weeks ago so I plan on covering several of the beds this weekend to keep stuff growing as long as possible. The snow line is well established on the mountain tops and below that is a lovely layer of russets and golds and then the dark greens of connifers.

Initial reports said 4.6; it's been revised to 4.0; centered west of Portland ME and felt throughout the region. A few of my friends lost phone and cable for a bit. DH and I were just finishing dinner when we felt it, a rolling kind of energy going throughout the house, followed by a low boom kind of noise. We looked at each other and said, "Earthquake?" By the time we turned on the TV, about 15 minutes later, the newscasters were all over it. We've only had a few earthquakes here that were strong enough for us to actually feel but this was certainly one of them. No damage, thank goodness.
